If the probability of F is greater than the significance level α, ________ and ________ should be used.
A)H0 is rejected; t based on "equal variances not assumed"
B)H0 is not rejected; t based on "equal variances assumed"
C)H0 is rejected; t based on "equal variances assumed"
D)H0 is not rejected; t based on "equal variances not assumed"
E)H1 is not rejected; t based on "equal variances not assumed"

If the probability of F is greater than the significance level α, it means that the variances of the two populations are similar enough to assume equal variances. Therefore, the best choice is to not reject H0 and use t based on "equal variances assumed" (which is less conservative than t based on "equal variances not assumed").
